 Highly structured analysis of OD. April 16, 2005

Cummings OD book is perfectly designed to approach and delve into the field of OD smoothly and profoundly. Its first three chapters provide an excellent introduction to OD and how it is differentiated from overlapping organizational dynamics, primarily change management and organizational change. I respected this text's strategic analysis of the OD interventions and the pragmatic models of their implementation. Although developing business organizations sounds theoritical in its conceptual or abstract sense, this text gives you reasonable and sensible tools that help convert the OD theory to a tangible reality.

Having read hundreds of books on organisational development I have to say this is the best. It is true to say that this book has never been far from my side over the last nine years. It covers the wide range of activities required to transform organisations, providing intervention theory, diagnosis, learning and development structure design etc. This single work has informed 70% of my thinking towards change management. I cannot rate this book highly enough, its the most important book in my collection and has informed most of the change management work I have conducted. It does take quite a bit of study and even more practice. I want to thank Cummings and Worley for producing this book, it has changed the course of my career.

It was in great condition. The book was a hell of a lot cheaper than if I bought it at school. I was amazed that I could also pay by check. I am disappointed though that now Amazon will not accept checks any more. I was really looking forward to using them again for purchasing the rest of my books. But the book was impecable =)

Book was delivered at the earliest of the estimated ten-day range and is in excellent condition as advertised. I'd purchase from this source again without hesitation.
